Abstract

We constrain renormalization group flows from ABCDEABCDE type Wess-Zumino-Witten models triggered by adjoint primaries. We propose positive Lagrangian coupling leads to massless flow and negative to massive. In the conformal phase, we prove an interface with the half-integral condition obeys the double braiding relations. Distinguishing simple and non-simple flows, we conjecture the former satisfies the half-integral condition. If the conjecture is true, some previously allowed massless flows are ruled out. For AA type, known mixed anomalies fix the ambiguity in identifications of Verlinde lines; an object is identified with its charge conjugate. In the massive phase, we compute ground state degeneracies.
